2013 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The auction lists the primary damage as **rear**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive deformation and tearing at the rear hatch and rear bumper. The rear hatch/tailgate is severely crushed and folded across the lower section and right side, including deep creases around the license-plate recess and distortion of the lower opening. The right corner of the rear bumper cover is severely deformed and torn, with an open gap and exposed components near the hatch. Repairs may require replacement of the hatch and bumper cover, along with inspection of the underlying body structure, latch area, lighting, wiring, and other components behind the damaged panels. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of these concealed areas. A red **“Restraint system”** warning and restraint-system icon are displayed in the instrument cluster. A red **“BRAKE”** warning is also displayed. These are important safety-related concerns requiring diagnostic testing and repair before the vehicle is driven. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i, classified as an all-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle, with a listed 2.0-liter gasoline engine and six cylinders. It was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2013 BMW X3, including recalls involving the driver-front air-bag inflator, child-seat LATCH anchor bars, the brake vacuum-assist system, the front-passenger air-bag instrument-panel tear seam, and the engine cooling-system water-pump electrical connector. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW, as the supplied information does not confirm whether any of these repairs have been performed.
